The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1887-12-17

York; eighth, G. s. Forbes, OF Vermont;
ninth, John Mitchell. IT,, of Virginia.
The report was adopted and vote OF
thanks was rendered TO the Hon. r. j.
RYAN for the able and impartial manner in
which he had discharged the duties OF tenn
porary chairman,
Soon William NJ Evar1s, the permanent
chairman, came ON the platform amid tre
mendoiis and long continued applause.
He was introduced by the temporary
chairman. Judge Ryan. lIccongralulatcd
the convention in its organization, and
said that il work would not interfere with
any Of the established organizations OF the
party. II would, like the grand old
party" never acknowledge that there
could he chosen candidate greater than
the party. The Democrats always pride
themselves that they nominate men greater
than their party, but that illusion has
about been dispelled. The election OF the
man who at present fills the chief eNecu-
tive office of the nation has caused this,
and the Democratic soothing syrup has
shown that il is totally devoid OF any
medicinal properties. The Republican
party never has had any candidate Of prin-
ciples hostile to the country's best inter
csis. Those dcuded citizens who think ~
mistake our principles and their duty.
The clubs or leagues that viii he organized
now will prove the organs, agents and
channels for enforcing the sound political
purposes from which the Republican party
never shrinks or fears Thus the suffrage
of this country will BE- formed and pcrme-
a,cd with Republican principles.
The speaker then referred 10 the sup
preston Of the negro in the south. Mr.
Gyarts then went into the message OF
Cleveland. lie thought that the Demo
Gratis might try to explain 1t away, II posi-
BILE, later on, and when they cannot do
that, they will reiract. But We must hold
him to it, We have the right To that mes
sage. The laboing class, who reads that
message, will see through the phrases in
which IL disguised his real position toward
them. Some people that the Republican
Senate will prevent the President from
doing wrong. A nice way that for people
o. elect President, believing that the OPP
posiic party will keep him straight.
James boyle, Of Ohio, chairman Of the
committee on permanent organization, re-
ported. lie said that the committee had
been confronted by three propositions; the
first was whether II was wise and practical
bic 10 io1m q national league Of Republic
I'm clubs. The decision reached was in the
affirmative. The sccond proposition was
in regard 10 the formation oi Slatc leagues.
Ii was resolved that the proper course
a. bc adopted WAS to suggest 10 the gen
tlcmen from the several states n plan Of
organization, and TO leave II 10 their dis
Cnciion
After Chairman Evaris had taken his
scat, amid applause, there were repeated

GINA, who descended lrpm the gallery and
climbed TO the platform. After thanking
the convention iur its welcome 10 him,
Gen. GoH said: 81 come iroma land south

ton. We mc Of country that before the
